Today at work I bought some gifts to share with my new Armenian and Georgian friends, and I'm already imagining the people I'll be sharing these gifts with. I got several WWJD bracelets, a few books of Proverbs, and some coloring-type books about easter. My mom also got 10 or so coloring books to donate to the Fuller Center in addition to the coloring pencils she got last week. She also got me a book of Columbus postcards to take and share in Armenia and Georgia. I'm very excited about sharing a little piece of the States with my new friends.
I also found out today that one of my sorority sisters, Stephanie, has 'traveling bears' to use as teaching aids in her classroom, and one of the bears, Bo, is going to be able to go with us to Armenia and Georgia. We will take pictures of them with us on our travels, and she will use the pictures and bears to help teach her students about other countries and places around the world. How exciting!
Also, Caleb is going to write me some letters to take with me on my trip to read for when I get homesick. If anyone else wants to do that too, I would be very appreciative! :)
Finally, Dad decided that he would get me a large hiking backpack to take on the trip, rather than having to carry around my luggage, as long as I mostly filled it with things to take to the Armenians and Georgians. So, we went to Academy in Auburn today and got a large backpack, and I can't wait to pack it full of gifts! I'm so excited for this trip!
